If the NCC membership votes to continue developing the system, how exactly does the situation get "normalized?" 
A vote to continue development of a system that has been rejected in the policy process continues the paradox, does it not? 
Only a negative vote would normalize. And I don't get the impression that you would vote no, or urge others to vote no.
